RX: >Yeah...so what you forgot is that >you don't speak for [IB]" Yeah, I know...most bright people would just figure out from what IB has done that they are a conservative company and wouldn't say moronic things like 'there's no reason not to give 4X margin". Unfortunately, those poor...

Thanks Kensmith, delincke and Lancer. If we keep digging we'll figure this thing out. I will continue working it and let you guys know if I learn anything new. Reciprocation is appreciated. Thanks to Lancer for passing my question on. JB

Thanks dlincke. Appreciate your input. As I noted in my thread intro, I have already searched this and other Nasdaq documentation and have been unable to find the answers to many, many questions. The Naz examples do a Passable job of explaining SS market orders, but as I only use limit...

>ib keeps on telling, that bid/ask on >SOES is the same like on NASDAQ - but >that's simply not the truth. You are right and they are wrong, but heck, if they even gave us the Nasdaq NBBO quotes rather than the last sale it would be a HUGE improvement. It's a SS route, so give us SS...

Hi Kensmith. Thanks again for your interest and input. >I havn't quite grasped your >question properly. My question is that I'm looking for a resource that explains in detail the rules and algoriths of the SuperSoes system. I am seeing conflict in the documentation I have found (see...

Hello Dlincke. I think it's clear from your post that you require a broker that provides many more options than IB does. Perhaps you already have such a broker. I trade for a living and with my trading style I have found that I am much more profitable with IB then I was when I used a...

I sent the following to IB this morning. In the past I have found IB to be quite responsive when approached. #################################### Hello XXX and XXX. I want to thank you again for your service and assistance. Since I spoke to you last, I have done some more testing and...

Thanks for the input. Kensmith, your post while excellent doesn't provide the detailed answers about the routing rules that I'm looking for. Lancer, I had spent quite a bit of time with the HardRightEdge.com routing table before writing my orginal post. It diplays a number of seeming...

I also use the Linksys router. Model #BEFSR41 It was easy to install, has worked flawlessly. It supports a small network of computers throughout my house with the longest cable length being 50 ft. JB

Could someone please direct me to a page that will answer my questions regarding SuperSoes. Example question: CSCO Bid GSCO | 17.75 | 100 MSCO | 17.75 | 200 PRUS | 17.73 | 700 Assume I am first in the que. A. Will a sell limit order for 17.73 x 500s execute 300s @ 17.75 with...

>They [gaps] have nothing to do with >whether the market is open or not. Frankly, I don't think that a 24/7 market is going to solve what ails ddefina, but the above statement is a bit off the mark if you ask me. Gaps of any significance have almost EVERYTHING to do with a market being...

>Why should IB even bother offering any >data feed at all? (if executions are >all that matters.....) Because without the basic data feed integrated into TWS, the execution interface would suck.(IB data feed is more then LVL1 BTW, cause we get each ECNs best price) It's the ability to...

>Is the NASD ever going to extend its >hours to be comparable to the ECN's? I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it. I read an article in the WSJ that after hours trading has not been considered that much of a success. Most of the casual traders that it was designed to reach after they...
